Abstract :

The present study was undertaken to investigate the outcome of closed intramedullary fixation of diaphyseal fractures of tibia, done with the help of image intensifier. Sixty three cases of closed tibial diaphyseal fractures were treated with closed intramedullary interlock nail. The cases were followed up minimum for a period of one year. The fractures in our study united in an average of about 22 weeks. Because of the high union rate, low infection rate and early mobilization, we consider closed interlock nailing of tibial diaphyseal fractures as one of the most suitable mode of treatment for closed diaphyseal tibial fractures under preferable conditions.
